Alaska Airlines

Alaska Airlines, founded in 1932 and headquartered in SeaTac, Washington, is a major US carrier that joined the oneworld alliance in 2021. The airline operates its primary hub at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport, with additional focus cities including Portland, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Anchorage. Alaska's fleet consists primarily of Boeing 737 variants, including the 737 MAX 9, along with Airbus A320 family aircraft acquired through its 2016 merger with Virgin America and the 2024 acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines. The airline is known for strong operational performance, frequently leading major US carriers in on-time arrivals and customer satisfaction surveys. Alaska's cabin products include First Class with recliner seats on domestic routes and Premium Class, an extra-legroom economy product. The Mileage Plan frequent flyer program is consistently ranked among the best in the industry for its generous earning rates, valuable partner redemptions, and the companion fare benefit offered to elite members and co-branded credit card holders. Alaska Airlines has a strong presence along the US West Coast and operates extensive service to Alaska, Hawaii, Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize, and Guatemala. The airline's acquisition of Hawaiian Airlines in 2024 added wide-body aircraft and transpacific routes to its network, significantly expanding its presence in the Pacific market.
